No, this is Capitalism and our culture. There were and still are societies where there is very little competition between individuals or even where the concept of "competition" is unknown.
This works with small communuties living naturally, like tribes in South America. But I think with technological advancement and a cultural shift towards are more social and less individualistic society this could also work on greater scales.
While I see your point, this could be extended to people doing dangerous sports for fun, eating unhealthy foods or engaging in any activity where one could get hurt.
As a human being with my own rule over my own body I have the right to do with it as I please.
If I want to consume addictive cancer sticks until I die a slow, painful death, I have the natural freedom to do so, and laws, taxes or fines won't stop me until I'm really locked away.
So I support other peoples freedom to smoke. It is just inhaling smoke from burning plant matter, which may be an irrational choice, but is my choice.
Und wenn man garkeine Sexualpartner hat kann man sich die 10€ sparen und muss trotzdem keine Angst haben!
Das spricht für dich :)
Ich (M, 34) bügel meine Kleidung nicht, denn ich hab nix dagegen rumzulaufen wie ein Schlunz und es würde mich viel mehr stören, regelmäßig Zeit zum Bügeln aufzuwenden. Ich besitze 1 Hemd, das ich einmal anhatte. Ungebügelt.
Lustigerweise stimme ich dir beim Thema Jogginghose zu und würde so niemals rausgehen, aber knitterige Jeans sind irgendwie voll ok.
Ich krieg auch endlich wieder Termine beim Zahnarzt!
These are eatable numbers
On the local news, there once was a short report about a local artist - some hippie-like old man. He drew pictures, but also played music.
He talked about this fantastic idea of his: presenting his pictures with his music. As an extra gimmick, he produced little slideshows or animations from his pictures, accompanied by his music.
He was so was proud, like he basically invented moving pictures with sound - which is just a fucking video, isn't it?
The news also praised him, like he was being soo creative and a such an innovative artist - for making videos. Great!
Nah, in this setting I would ask myself:
Why do we require suits for a wedding? We're celebrating a couple, how does wearing a suit make it more celebratory?
And then probably go on a rant about our superficial society.
But the only wedding I would actually attend would be one where we'd sit on the ground in jeans and hoodies and pass a joint, or something like that.
Someone in a suit is always suspicious.
They play dress-up to represent something that they aren't, to get you to think that they're serious and competent.
Someone who really has competentence and something behind the looks can show up in rags and I will trust that person. Someone in a suit makes me question, what are they hiding? Why the need to show off?
The other guy said it perfectly:
It really isn't more complicated than that. Any explaination why this person is not allowed to sleep in this bed or why this person should not be able to sleep in this bed is absolute bullshit.
